Sorry for the newb question. I've had my wonderful lynxone in storage since the death of kmixer with vista. I saw this announcement and figured would be the perfect time to rebuild my music machine to use the lynxone again.

I've now spent 12+ hours trying to get this pkg to work on FreeBSD 11 with no success yet. I have the lynxone driver sources and they build... I can see other audio devices on the system but no lynxone, hard hang if I soundon...

So... I'm not tied to any particular distro, I'm a newb that's looking to output some music. Would it be possible to point to some proven instructions for any distro to get oss 4.2 working with a sound card? Today I'm afraid I am following fragmented instructions that are both new and old.

I'm really excited by the potential but surprised how difficult it is to get a sound package to work.
